The Future of RC Rock Crawling

The Future of RC Rock Crawling

One could argue that RC rock crawling has been around as long as there have been RC trucks and rocks. There’s some truth to that, but true rock crawling with specific-built machines is still a relatively young segment. Rock crawling really started when conversions of Tamiya’s TLT-1 and Clod Buster began growing in number.  In those early days, however, crawlers had to […]

Microsoft and Kyosho Partner up?

Last weekend I was out in Las Vegas for the anual Silver State Nitro Challenge and I decided to stay an extra day in order to attend the NAB (National Association of BroadCasters) Show. Anything that has to do with broadcasting was there. Whether your the IT guy for the TV station, sound engineer, camera operator, […]

5 Tips for Better RC Videos

5 Tips for Better RC Videos

When shooting and editing video, it’s best to keep things simple. Fast cuts, crazy transitions, and visual effects can negatively impact your presentation and cause your viewer to move on. It’s far more important to include the necessities rather than the accessories. Here are a few tips to keep your audience tuned in. 1.) Always […]

TLR 22 Shock Tips from Mike Truhe (Video)

I caught up with Mike Truhe last weekend at the JConcepts Indoor Spring Nats where he TQ’d the 2wd modified buggy class. We discussed setup progress on the recently released TLR22 buggy.

Drivers, Go at the Sound of the Tone!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Brent Fiege (pronounced “figgy”, as people like to call me).  I am an avid off-road racer in both nitro and electric classes. My goal with this blog is to bring you, the reader/viewer, setup tips, race coverage and a lot of behind the scenes action in the RC […]
It’s time to go racing!

It’s time to go racing!

There are two things I like about the spring; it gets warmer and the racing season starts. I’m excited about running laps at Pin Shop Hobbies. I always have a great time hanging with everyone there and I enjoy running in the buggy and truggy classes. This year I think I’m going to switch things […]

Check out Cody King’s Silver State MP9

With Silver State just a few days away, many of the top drivers have been spending there time getting their rigs ready to go. Cody and Paul King decided to mix things up a bit. Most of the Hard Anodized pieces that come stock on the Kyosho TKI2 MP9 were re finished with Red Anodizing. […]

This is Mint! Full-size off-road!

While on a recent trip to Las Vegas I attended the SNORE Mint 400. I heard that the race was going on while I was there and after making a call to my boys at HPI Racing we were in a car and on the way to the event. Friday night before the race we […]

More Critics Than Racers

More Critics Than Racers

Trends and certain hot topics come and go in this hobby, but a few have withstood that old proverbial test of time. Monster trucks come to mind–always popular no matter what else pops up. Criticism of ROAR (Remotely Operated Auto Racers) is another stalwart of RC. Having been around since the late sixties, 1967 to be exact, […]

Front spindles for my trophy truck project

I’ve had a few builds for the magazine keeping me from getting to my trophy truck build and my boy Ed from STL Customs has been busy as well so things are going a little slow on the build right now. Here I have the beginning stages of my front spindles. I designed them to […]
RC To Do/Wish List

RC To Do/Wish List

I have one of those jobs that’s fast paced (epic understatement) with constantly changing priorities. In an attempt to preserve some of my sanity, I rely on To Do Lists. Every To Do List I have is a work in progress–new items often get added faster than I can check the older ones off. This constant use of these […]
